On The Frontlines of COVID-19 with Mayor Benjamin of Columbia, SC 

“The two hurdles our city has had to overcome were asking our citizens to quickly and dramatically change everything about their lives. The second hurdle was overcoming the sever economic downturn. We rose to the challenge assisting hundreds of small businesses with millions [of dollars] in emergency funding.”
